work@home

I think most of us have separate offices at ITC, so probably they are quite silent*. But still, usually there is some background noise that accompanies you while working in the office. If you miss that, or want to change what you have in your home, which may range erratically between eerie silence to cheerful whoops of children, cats, dogs, birds, etc., check this site:

You can toggle different noise sources and even set the number of colleagues! Very nicely done I would say :)

After three days jumping from the bedroom to the dining table, and to the couch. I decided to move my desk to the living room by the window. I have a very nice view from there. See the 'hills' in the back? Those are the 'highlands' across the border in Germany.

It has been difficult to adapt to work from home. Not that I did not do it before. On the contrary, I do it all the time, as probably many of you do. However, some people prefer the rigid and sometimes plain look of the office. I might be one of those. Let's see how long my new setup will last.

First lesson learned in the times of CoVid-19: Life can change so extremely quickly…If I think now about what my worries and “misfortunes” looked like two, three weeks ago...Oh Gosh! Some of them were rather trivial, I have to admit.

Therefore, second lesson learned: Carpe Diem!

…And that’s what I’m doing. Trying to find the tiniest bits of joy around me and taking wise advantage of them (Yet, I am also working…don’t worry!)
